Mozo (Smart Desk Lamp)
THE INANIMATE
THE INANIMATE
I think those inanimate things that lay around us need some respect. they play a big, and usually unnoticed role in making our life easier and maybe more interesting.
We spend most of our time using and consuming these things that perform a clear function and do not complain or get bored of you and remain faithful until they are completely consumed
And It is so routine and boring sitting in the room or wherever the place is in the midst of something stationary called inanimate objects. So those inanimate things that are not affected by your presence and you are also not affected by their presence, so can it move and respond to you and your orders?!
The answer will definitely be yes from now on.
I've always been fascinated by things that can express or manage feelings and respond to me and interact with me, that's why I decided to apply my idea. And I've always prefer to sit in the dark at my desk
So I decided to build a desk lamp that can interact with me, change my mood, have a behavior, respond through its senses, sounds or I approach it, obeys, or disobeys, feels that time passes, sneezes, falls asleep …

"Mo SDL"
"Mo SDL"
The idea came from linking my field of study and from respecting those inanimate things that surround us and making them semi-alive and responding to us. They play a huge role, and it is usually noted in making our lives easier and perhaps more interesting.

6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
Minimum Features: are the least amount of features that would demonstrate the coverage of all the technical modules and their complete integration
Complete Features: are the set of features that will complete your original project objective and vision
Nice-to-have Features: are the extra set of features that will make the project cooler, yet they need extra time, effort, and/or resources to finish
